Questions
Will I need surgery?
Most bites are treated with braces, lingual braces or aligners alone. If yours needs surgery, you hear it at the consultation, not halfway through treatment.
Who carries out the operation?
A maxillofacial surgeon. This clinic plans and manages the orthodontic side of the case.
Is jaw surgery offered on its own?
No. It is planned as part of an orthodontic case, together with the surgeon, for the bites that need it.
